Description

clip

The present invention relates to a clip formed from a metal plate.

Conventionally, a clip is generally used to connect two panels. The clip is attached to the edge of one panel, and a screw with the other panel is inserted into a hole formed in the clip and the panel to join the two panels.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a stopper having two grip pieces formed by bending a rectangular spring plate into two. One ends of the two grip pieces are connected to each other, and the other end is a free end. One gripping piece is inclined with respect to the other gripping piece, and the receiving end on the free end side is narrowed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-51607

In the technique of Patent Document 1, since there is a portion where the interval is the narrowest on the free end sides of the two gripping pieces, when the stopper is coated with a rust preventive liquid, a liquid pool is generated at the narrowest portion, and 2 There is a risk of the two gripping pieces sticking.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a clip in which the possibility that the free end portion is fixed is suppressed.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, an aspect of the present invention is a clip formed of a metal plate, having a free end, a first plate portion in which a screw hole portion is formed, and a free end. And a second plate portion facing the first plate portion, and a connecting portion for connecting the first plate portion and the second plate portion. On the free end side from the screw hole portion, an approach portion is formed in which the first plate portion and the second plate portion approach each other, and in the approach portion, an approach plate portion is provided on one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion. An opening is formed on the other side.

According to this aspect, by forming the approaching portion on the free end side of the clip, it is possible to suppress backlash when the panel is sandwiched. Since the opening is formed in one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion in the approaching portion, when the clip is applied, a liquid pool is generated in the approaching portion and the first plate portion and the second plate portion are fixed. The possibility can be suppressed.

Another embodiment of the present invention is also a clip formed of a metal plate. The clip includes a first plate portion having a free end and a screw hole portion, a second plate portion having a free end and facing the first plate portion, a first plate portion, and a second plate. And a connecting part for connecting the parts. On the free end side from the screw hole portion, one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion is provided with a narrow portion formed by notching the side portion, and the other is an opening portion facing the narrow portion. Is formed.

According to this aspect, since the narrow portion is formed in one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion and the opening is formed in the other on the free end side from the screw hole portion of the clip, the width is narrow when the clip is painted. The possibility that the coating liquid falls from the notch formed in the portion to the opening and the first plate portion and the second plate portion adhere to each other can be suppressed.

According to the present invention, the possibility that the free end portion of the clip sticks can be suppressed.

It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating a clip. It is a figure for demonstrating attachment of a clip. It is a perspective view of the clip of a modification.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the clip 10. 1A is a bottom view of the clip 10, FIG. 1B is a side view of the clip 10, and FIG. 1C is a top view of the clip 10. In addition, the description regarding the upper and lower sides of the following embodiment does not restrict the usage mode of the clip 10 to the upper and lower sides. 1A is the longitudinal direction of the clip 10, the Y direction is the width direction of the clip 10, and the Z direction shown in FIG. 1B is perpendicular to the second plate portion 40. Direction.

The clip 10 is used for connecting a first member and a second member (not shown). For example, the first member is a panel provided on the vehicle body, and the second member is a cover member coupled to the panel. The clip 10 couples the second member to the first member by a screw member (not shown).

The clip 10 is formed by cutting out a metal plate, drawing it, and bending it with a press. As shown in FIG. 1B, the clip 10 connects the first plate portion 20, the second plate portion 40 facing the first plate portion 20, and the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40. And a connecting portion 34. The first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 face each other with a slight inclination in the longitudinal direction. The first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 have free ends on the opposite side of the connecting portion 34. The 1st board part 20 and the 2nd board part 40 can be expanded by elasticity, can be expanded and can pinch the edge of a panel.

A screw hole portion 22 having a screw groove on the inner periphery is formed in the first plate portion 20 by drawing. The first plate part 20 has an approach part 24, a narrow part 26, and a notch part 28 on the free end side from the screw hole part 22. The first plate portion 20 is inclined so as to approach the second plate portion 40 from the connecting portion 34 toward the free end, bends at the approaching portion 24, and the second plate portion 40 along the longitudinal direction at the narrow portion 26. Tilt away from. The approach portion 24 indicates a region where the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 are closest to each other in the side view of the clip 10 shown in FIG. 1B, and the first plate portion 20 is described later. Alternatively, an approach plate portion is formed on one side of the second plate portion 40 and an opening portion is formed on the other side.

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), in the approach portion 24, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 are closest to each other on the free end side from the screw hole portion 22. As shown in FIG. 1A, the notch 28 is formed so as to cut out the edges on both sides on the free end side from the screw hole 22. The cutout portion 28 forms a narrow portion 26 in which the tip portion of the first plate portion 20 is narrower than the other portions.

The narrow portion 26 is formed by cutting out both side portions of the first plate portion 20 and is inclined so as to be separated from the second plate portion 40 toward the free end. Thereby, it is possible to widen the opening at the tip and easily accept the panel.

As shown in FIG. 1C, the second plate portion 40 is formed with an insertion hole portion 42 through which a screw member for insertion into the screw hole portion 22 can be inserted. The insertion hole 42 is larger than the screw hole 22. The edge on the free end side of the insertion hole portion 42 is at a position approximately half of the narrow portion 26 in the longitudinal direction. A protruding portion 46 that protrudes toward the first plate portion 20 is formed at the edge of the insertion hole portion 42. The overhanging portion 46 supports the panel when the clip 10 sandwiches the panel.

The first connection side hole 30 is formed in the first plate portion 20 from the screw hole portion 22, and the second connection side hole portion 44 is formed in the second plate portion 40. Both the first connecting side hole 30 and the second connecting side hole 44 are formed across the connecting portion 34. The first connecting side hole 30 and the second connecting side hole 44 facilitate the deformation of the connecting portion 34 and the vicinity thereof. Further, the first connection side hole 30 is at least twice as large as the second connection side hole 44, and the first plate part 20 in which the first connection side hole 30 is formed is deformed more than the second plate part 40. It is easy to do.

By the way, since the clip 10 is formed of a metal plate, it is immersed in a coating liquid for rust prevention after processing. At this time, if the coating liquid accumulates in the approaching portion 24 due to surface tension or the like and hardens, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 may be fixed at the approaching portion 24. Therefore, in the approaching portion 24, an opening is formed in the other of the first plate portion 20 or the second plate portion 40 so as to face the approaching plate portion 24 a formed on one of the first plate portion 20 or the second plate portion 40. Is forming. The approach plate portion 24 a of the embodiment is a portion that is closest to the second plate portion 40 in the first plate portion 20, and the opening portion is the insertion hole portion 42. Since one side is open, the possibility that the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 are fixed by the coating liquid in the approach portion 24 can be avoided. One side of the approaching part 24 is open, but the part approaching from the side is called the approaching part 24.

The narrow part 26 is narrower than the width of the opposing insertion hole part 42, and the edge of the notch part 28 intersects with the edge of the insertion hole part 42 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the second plate part 40. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1A, a region penetrating the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 can be formed, and the liquid pool can be made difficult. The narrow portion 26 is positioned within the width of the insertion hole portion 42 as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the second plate portion 40, and is positioned within the insertion hole portion 42. Thereby, as shown to Fig.1 (a), the area | region which penetrated the 1st board part 20 and the 2nd board part 40 can be formed in two places on both sides, and a liquid pool can be made still more difficult.

The minimum distance between the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 at the approaching portion 24 is narrower than the plate thickness of the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40. Therefore, when the plurality of clips 10 are held in the case, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 of the other clip 10 are unlikely to enter the approach portion 24 of the one clip 10, and the clips 10 are entangled with each other. The possibility can be suppressed. When dipping in the coating liquid, the plurality of clips 10 are dipped at the same time, and in this case, the entanglement of the clips 10 can be suppressed. In addition, it is possible to suppress backlash in the case where the clip 10 is attached even if the plate thickness of the panel to which the clip 10 is attached is thinner than the plate thickness of the clip 10.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the attachment of the clip 10. Fig.2 (a) shows the clip 100 of the technique of a comparison object, FIG.2 (b) shows the clip 10 of embodiment. Here, the same or equivalent components and members shown in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the clip 10 sandwiches the panel 70 between the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 40, places the cover 60 on the second plate portion 40, and inserts the cover 60 and the panel 70. Then, the screw member 50 is inserted into the insertion hole portion 42 and the screw hole portion 22 and screwed, and the cover 60 is coupled to the panel 70.

The clip 100 to be compared is the same as the clip 10 in that it includes the first plate portion 120, the second plate portion 140, and the connecting portion 134, but the first connecting side hole portion 30 and the second connecting side hole portion 44 are different. It differs from the clip 10 in that it is not formed. Therefore, the clip 100 has higher rigidity of the connecting portion 34 than the clip 10.

The clip 100 needs to be deformed according to the thickness of the panel 70 when the screw member 50 is tightened, but the cover 60 may be deformed because of the high rigidity of the connecting portion 34 and the vicinity thereof.

In the clip 10 of the embodiment, since the first connection side hole 30 larger than the second connection side hole 44 is formed, the first plate portion 20 is more easily deformed. When the screw member 50 is tightened, the first plate portion 20 is deformed first, so that the plane of the second plate portion 40 is maintained, and deformation of the cover 60 can be suppressed. Thus, even if the plate thickness of the panel 70 is different, the deformation of the second plate portion 40 on which the cover 60 is placed can be suppressed by making the first plate portion 20 easy to deform.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a modified clip 200. The clip 200 of the modified example is different from the clip 10 shown in FIG. 1 in the shapes of the narrow part 226 and the notch part 228. The notch portion 228 is notched on both sides of the first plate portion 20 on the free end side from the screw hole portion 22, but is not all notched to the free end 80 like the notch portion 28 of the clip 10. The narrow portion 226 faces the insertion hole portion 42 at the approach portion 24. The free end 80 of the first plate part 20 is formed wider than the narrow part 226.

Even in the clip 200 of the modified example, the narrow portion 226 is located within the width of the insertion hole portion 42 when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the second plate portion 40, so that the first plate is applied by the coating liquid at the approach portion 24. The possibility that the portion 20 and the second plate portion 40 are fixed can be avoided.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications such as design changes can be added to the embodiments based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. Embodiments described may also be included within the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment, the mode in which the insertion hole 42 shown in FIG. 1C is formed as the opening is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this mode. For example, the opening includes a form in which the tip of the second plate part 40 is opened and bifurcated, instead of the form in which the tip is closed like the insertion hole 42.

In the embodiment, the mode in which the opening is formed in the second plate portion 40 in the approaching portion 24 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this mode. For example, the opening portion may be formed in the first plate portion 20 in the approach portion 24, and the approach plate portion may be formed in the second plate portion 40. A narrow portion formed in a narrow width is formed at the tip portion of the second plate portion 40, and this narrow portion is shorter in the width direction than the opening formed in the first plate portion 20, and the second plate It fits in the opening as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the portion 40.
